Well said mate, coupes and classics in general are stupidly over priced at the moment. Having said that I have been looking myself for about a year and only seen 1 xb coupe in great condition going for 28k. It was sold before I even picked up the phone...

So what you are saying is, because you can't afford it, or it's not what you want to pay, the price is ridiculous?? Fair enough!!

dream on you are a full tool. Bagging everyone because they don't subscribe to YOUR point of view. Simply because something is expensive does not mean it is worth that. And anyone living in the real world would realise YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU PAY FO

Unfortunatly, the prices have sky rocketed. They may be more than they should,but bat the end of the day, the worth of something is what people will pay for it. Some stamps are worth millions because they have a fault, figure that one out. If there are |

Aparently the american collectors are hunting the xygts ho,s over shelbys and it wont be long and the coupes will probably be the same. I also heard that they also import mustangs back to the states due to the ubundance of them here. The investors guide

Buying cars better investment than real estate??? wow, I'm not sure those involved in the downturn of the english classic car market would agree with that. I think I would fire my investment advisor if he said that to me;) Interesting though, I reckon in

Yeah Landau37, was a bit hard to see her go. Will get another one later, if I can afford it.

If only people had taken interest in these coupes 20 or even 10 years ago there would have been a hell of a lot more still in existence and prices wouldn't be crazy like they are now. It wasn't that long ago a decent coupe could be had for under 10K. Ha

Younger people and/or people who know nothing about cars see my GXL and automatically think it's "worth about 50 grand" because it looks so good. When I tell them $15K MAX they don't believe me. Yeah, I know its not a coupe but the point I am tring to mak
